---------------------
Harvey: working it out with Heather and Mike.....I am borrowing equipment for the 18th and Dec 9th

---------------------
Kelly Colquitt: I just got the wiki link so I haven't read the details, sounds like each school will  be responsible for a jeoprady category...do the kids write the questions and I send them to someone...is this correct?

---------------------
Allison Carpenter: @ Harvey- ok

---------------------
Harvey: what do we need to prep the classes for...I am going to the school on Friday to do an intro and set up technical stuff

---------------------
Moderator: Kelly, yes that is the plan!

---------------------
Harvey: ok, cool  I was going to present an overview of the zoo as well

---------------------
Moderator: does anyone have a direct link to the zoo's site

---------------------
Jill Greiner: I will ask her to avoid the Jan. 20th week.

---------------------
Kelly Colquitt: http://www.sandiegozoo.org/

---------------------
Harvey: http://www.sandiegozoo.org/education/index.html

---------------------
Kelly Colquitt: What about each school takes an animal.  One question about habitat.  One question about adaptations.  One question of life cycles.   Etc.

---------------------
Moderator: If the zoo presents 5 animals

---------------------
Moderator: that's a good way to divide it

---------------------
Moderator: I can ask about that

---------------------
Allison Carpenter: good point

---------------------
Kelly Colquitt: Please ask for 5 animals so we could each focus on an animal.  I just think it might make life easier for us.
